Should i save cd cases

I'd like to keep my CDs, minus the jewel cases, so I'm looking for more compact solutions. Is that just from pulling them in and out repeatedly?

I'd like to store the original jackets too, if not in the same pocket, then close by. I thought about just plastic sleeves that I put in storage boxes with the jackets. Anyone see a problem with this? I know a lot of you think I should just sell them, and buy that 3rd hard drive and have money left over…. Location: USA. Are you crazy for keeping your CDs? Absolutely NOT!

I would only be keeping them as a backup, since I don't actually own a CD player anymore, and when I build my home system, probably won't include one.

You never know, there could be a resurgence in popularity for CDs in the coming decade or two like there was for vinyl. Also, given the fight for better royalty payments to artists from Spotify and other streaming services, there could be a time when music is not as widely available or affordable on streaming sites.

By Chris Riemenschneider. When compact discs started arriving on the shelves of Woolworths in the s, liberated boomers set about chucking out all the vinyl clogging up their entertainment centres. After an investment in a three-disc changer and some CD towers, they could rest easy in the assurance that they were future-proofed. A couple of decades, and a few music industry meltdowns later, no one wants CDs any more.

They gaze longingly at Discogs , masochistically checking how much that Boney M picture disc is worth now. Will millennials be putting themselves in the same position? Vinyl has seen a resurgence in sales surpassing any expectations; even the cassette tape — the clunkiest format since the shellac disc — has seen a comeback.
